Flash (Alert)
Tivoli Federated Identity Manager
Software version:
6.1.1, 6.2, 6.2.1

Abstract
SUMMARY
It is possible to configure Tivoli Federated Identity Manager (TFIM) in such a
way that the logging of certain activities could result in the trace files
produced by TFIM containing passwords that are either in clear text or
obfuscated in a manner that the password can be derived.
Content
VULNERABILITY DETAILS
CVE ID: CVE-2012-3310
DESCRIPTION:
The four logging configurations described below result in the TFIM trace files
containing passwords that are either in clear text or obfuscated in a manner
that the password can be derived. In all cases, accessing the configuration of
the system in order to enable the logging, as well as accessing the resulting
trace files, requires elevated privileges.
1) ALIAS SERVICE SETTINGS
Enabling the "all" TFIM log trace setting results in the Alias Service Settings
LDAP "Bind Password" to appear in clear text in the resulting log files upon
execution of SAML 2.0 Single Sign On flow.
2) VIEWING KEYSTORES
Enabling the "all" TFIM log trace setting results in obfuscated keystore
passwords being logged upon "View Keys" execution in TFIM configuration.
3) ARTIFACT FEDERATION SINGLE SIGN ON WITH BASIC AUTHENTICATION
Enabling the "all" TFIM log trace setting results in the client Basic
Authentication password being logged in clear text upon execution of SAML 2.0
Federation SSO flow using HTTP-Artifact.
4) STS MODULE USERNAMETOKEN
Enabling the "all" TFIM log trace setting results in the end-user supplied
password being logged in clear text when issuing the UsernameToken.
An attack does not require local network access, but it does it require
authentication and specialized knowledge and techniques. An exploit will not
impact accessibility of system resources or the integrity of information, but
the confidentiality of some of the data managed by TFIM could be compromised.
